Hi William. I've never gotten the logic behind the numbering systems to set file permissions. Like how do you get from something like chmod +x /home/file.txt to chmod 755 /home/file.txt. I'm just curious as to whether someone has figured out the logic behind this. ----- Original Message ----- From: William Hubbs <kc5eiv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Speakup Mailing List <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 1:32 PM Subject: debian /var/lock permissions > Cheryl, > > I am running debian 3.0 (woody), and I just checked the permissions on > /var/lock here: > > drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 Mar 14 11:56 /var/lock > > To get that permission, type, as root, > > chmod 1777 /var/lock > > William > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
